A “Dad Style” Hug
My dad was not the kind and loving type. I have no memories of his arms open wide, waiting for a hug from his little girl. I don’t remember being comforted when nothing seemed to be going my way. I don’t ever remember him saying he was proud of me, I don’t remember ever seeing…

“The Chocolate Incident”
There’s nothing more frustrating than thinking you have all the ingredients for something you plan to make only to discover, after a thorough investigation, that one of the key ingredients is missing! What you are about to read transpired out of my desire to create a 9 x 13 inch pan of the moistest, fudgiest…

A Non Stick Cooking Wand
Multitasking is something a lot of us do. It seems that we feel the need to convince our hands and our brains that it is, in fact, possible to do more than one thing at a time. I’ve been guilty of surfing the internet while making an attempt at an intelligent conversation on the phone.…

Chocolate Pudding And Toilet Paper
When my big sister got married and started having babies, I was just about the happiest aunt there could ever be! I loved to spoil my nieces and let them eat chocolate cake for breakfast when they stayed with me and break all the rules moms and dads create for their children to live by.…

A Very Dusty Night At The Barber Shop

Perspectives Can Differ Greatly
There are always two sides to everything. A front and a back. A positive and a negative. An up and a down. A day and a night and a man that can’t sleep and a woman that can. Each side has value and a completely different perspective, more often than not. With that being said,…

Tape, Paper Clips or Staples?
Wardrobe malfunctions are never fun. I’ve had several and all of them qualify for my “Most Embarrassing Moments” list. One that made my “Top Ten” list happened while I was working at the post office. There were three male mail carriers that sorted mail in the morning and then returned once they were finished with…

A New Home For Bumper
I am an animal lover. I’m especially fond of cats and I’d do almost anything to bring joy and comfort to a cat that crosses my path. A couple of years ago Don and I were staying with my mom for the weekend. The sun was going down but it wasn’t completely dark yet.…
